Depression presents itself as a realism regarding the rottenness of the world in general and the rottenness of your life in particular.

Jonathan Franzen

Depression presents itself as a realism regarding the rottenness of the world in general and the rottenness of your life in particular. But the realism is merely a mask for depression's actual essence, which is an overwhelming estrangement from humanity. The more persuaded you are of your unique access to the rottenness, the more afraid you become of engaging with the world; and the less you engage with the world, the more perfidiously happy-faced the rest of humanity seems for continuing to engage with it.

Jonathan Franzen

The perfection of rottenness.

William James

It's all romanticism, nonsense, rottenness, art.

Ivan Turgenev

The rottenness of the matter which is the foundation of everything!

Marcus Aurelius

So much perfection argues rottenness somewhere.

Beatrix Potter

If this fail, The pillar'd firmament is rottenness, And earth's base built on stubble.

John Milton

We have lived long enough to experience the hollowness of earth and the rottenness of all carnal promises.

Charles Spurgeon

Purposes, like eggs, unless they be hatched into action, will run into rottenness.

Samuel Smiles

As long as there are religions, there are going to be people who are hiding their rottenness behind the veil of religion.

Juliana Hatfield

Look within. Within you is the hidden God. Within you is the immortal soul. Within you is the inexhaustible spiritual treasure. Within you is the ocean of bliss. Look within for the happiness which you have sought in vain.

Sivananda

An emptiness rules at its core, a rottenness, a silence when one of you retires to bed without saying good night, when you eat together without conversation, when the phone's passed wordlessly to the other. An emptiness when every night you lie in the double bed, restlessly awake, astounded at how closely hate can nudge against love, can wind around it sinuously like a cat. An emptiness when you realize that the loneliest you've ever been is within a marriage, as a wife.
